Y Gribin ridge to Glyder Fawr and Y Garn Descent.


Weather report for today. The route summary (above).

Car park all to my self, great to get here early in the morning.

For Y Gribin? Follow the path to the left where it forks off. For Y Garn, it is the path on the right.

Heading towards the gap where we will come across a waterfall to start the Y Gribin ridge ascent.

The extremely gentle but fun scramble of Y Gribin ridge.

A view to Glyder Fach.

Some impressive weather conditions on top of Glyder Fawr.

Looking back onto Glyder Fawr.

The largest patch of snow I'd seen all day just before the summit of Y Garn.

A view south looking at the Snowdon masssif.

After a quick lunch break on the summit of Y Garn, I took this panoramic shot of the views and awesome weather conditions.







This was a great shot showing improved weather conditions on the descent back to the car on Y Garn.



What a way to end a morning hike, the sun just poking through the devil's kitchen and with Llyn Idwal in the foreground.
